FAQs
What are therapy and therapy services?
“Therapy” is the process of meeting with a therapist to resolve behaviours, feelings, relationship issues and more. We offer various therapies including psychology and counselling.
Different therapy services we offer such as speech therapy or occupational therapy help children and adults to manage their disability or recovery from injury or illness.
How do I choose the right type of therapy?
Sometimes combining more than one type of therapy might be the right approach. We’ll assess you and identify what would benefit you or your child.
How do you assess mine or my child’s needs?
We can carry out various assessments, including cognitive tests, developmental tests, and one-to-one assessments.
